Had positives, but 2 issues. Good breakfast & area

I gave it a 4 because they were attentive to my requests. However, it was not a perfect stay. I had to switch rooms upon arrival because first one smelled of smoke and air freshener. The following day I notices my second room had a trail of very small ants along 1 wall. They did quickly send a up a nice staff member to treat it with a natural solution as not to create fumes. The lounger in room needs to be retired due to wear. Overall, the hotel is clean and has modern fixtures. Clean pool. The breakfast has many quality options and bean ground coffee. Be sure to try the warm cinnamon buns. The location has plenty of shopping, movie theater, & some restaurants (Chili's nearby). I'm hoping my room issues were a fluke, and I'm just glad I got a good rate.
